> would I switch? I've tons of data in there, and most people I care about know this is my email. Surely fact that you have a lot of data is precisely the reason you need to safeguard it? Copying all old emails to a new account takes a few clicks in outlook/thunderbird/whatever you prefer Setting up forwarding takes a couple minutes. This isn't like leaving WhatsApp where you are stuck > Do you mean the phone I just lost in the fire? I can walk into a physical store of my phone company and have a new simcard in minutes

> I can walk into a physical store of my phone company and have a new simcard in minutes This doesn't work in all countries. > Setting up forwarding takes a couple minutes. This isn't like leaving WhatsApp where you are stuck I find this unsatisfying. In this day an age, your email is often your id. I don't feel comfortable with my id being one thing to some people, and another to others, without rhyme or reason. I'm also not comfortable with having forward configured in an (allegedly) unsafe account I may lose access to.
